Zaber Technologies has introduced a new xy scanning stage equipped with built-in rotary encoders for closed-loop operation. The ASR-E stages are designed for use with most common microscopes including Leica, Nikon, Olympus and Zeiss.

Anasys Instruments has introduced the nanoIR2, a second-generation AFM-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) platform. A key breakthrough is the ability of the nanoIR2 to operate with top-side illumination, eliminating the need to prepare samples on a ZnSe prism and enabling measurements on a much more diverse set of samples.

Craic Technologies has introduced the 508 PV UV-visible-NIR spectrophotometer for microscopes. The 508 Perfect Vision is designed as an add-on to an open photoport of a microscope or probe station to non-destructively analyze the spectra microscopic samples.

Ocean Optics has introduced the IDRaman micro, a compact microscope designed for Raman measurements in research, quality control and quality assurance environments. The IDRaman micro uses a novel focusing technique to make sampling more accurate and easier to perform than with systems based on traditional inverted microscopes and those that rely on fiber optic coupling.

The Retiga 3000 is the ideal camera for high resolution snapshot fluorescence documentation. With 2.8 million pixels, a 4.54μm pixel pitch and a high quantum efficiency of 75%, this camera provides higher resolution and sensitivity than most standard fluorescence microscopy cameras. Available in monochrome or color, the Retiga 3000 uses a USB 2.0 data connection for a fast and easy installation.

An unequivocal advance in fluorescence documentation, the Retiga 6000 allows you to see larger areas in greater detail and with higher clarity. Capturing the largest Field of View is possible without having to compromise on resolution or sensitivity. With 6.05 million pixels and a 16mm sensor diagonal, the Retiga 6000 exploits the full microscope FOV, capturing twice the image area than most standard fluorescence cameras.

The FLIR GF346 optical gas imaging camera has been designed to rapidly detect and visualize escaping carbon monoxide and 17 other harmful gases from a safe distance without the need to interrupt a plant’s production. FLIR Systems' GF346 camera can scan large areas (up to 100 m) rapidly and pinpoint leaks in real time.
